Malawi aims to reduce poverty through sustained economic growth and infrastructure development as outlined in the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) 2006-2011. The expected result is to transform the country from being a predominantly importing and consuming economy to a predominantly manufacturing and exporting economy. To achieve this, the Government prioritized six key areas that are the basis for Malawi’s economic growth, namely: agriculture and food security; irrigation and water development; transport infrastructure development; energy generation and supply; integrated rural development; and prevention and management of HIV/AIDS and nutrition disorders.
